House For Sale £550,000
A charming and versatile, four bedroom, character home boasting a private rear garden, generous open plan extension and retaining many of its original features as well as having scope for extension (STPP). No forward chain.
Property Description
The property we believe was originally constructed in the 1930’s and represents one of the original homes within Oakley Hill. The home retains many of its original features and the current custodian has meticulously maintained the property whilst being able to retain a lot of the home's charm and character. The accommodation comprises of two reception rooms, kitchen and cloakroom to the ground floor, with four double bedrooms and family bathroom to the first floor. A planning permission was sought in 2015 for the addition of a shower room and utility room. This extension spans the rear elevation and links the kitchen and one of the reception spaces, creating a contemporary open plan space which elevates the home to be able to accommodate some of today's living styles. Furthermore, there has previously been a planning permission granted to facilitate the conversion of the roof space into further bedroom accommodation and this, in our opinion, could be easily reinstated with a retrospective application. The home benefits from gas fired heating, as well as double glazing, and our vendor has already successfully completed on their forward purchase, meaning this home is being offered without a forward chain.
Gardens and Grounds
The front garden is primarily laid to a kept lawn and there is a selection of mature shrub beds and borders. A new driveway has recently been installed and features a brick block paved parameter with dressed gravel inlays. This extends to the left hand side of the home which gives access to the attached large single garage, with an electrically operated up and over style door. The drive can easily accommodate three vehicles. The rear garden is mature in its nature which provides a natural degree of privacy from neighbouring homes, and there is a paved patio area spanning the rear elevation which is accessible from the vaulted garden room via generous bi-folding patio doors. The garden is primarily laid to a kept lawn and there is a wide variety of mature shrubs and bushes, clearly denoting the boundaries.
